Anyone else running the TiVo app on an android device with KitKat? I'm hoping to find out if I'm crazy :-).

Every time I tell the TiVo app to exit on both my Nexus 5 phone and my Nexus 7 tablet, some other app pops up as though it is triggered by the TiVo app exiting. (It always seems to be the chrome browser on the Nexus 7, on the Nexus 5 phone it appears to be a randomly selected app).

This didn't happen on my old phone, but now that I have the new Nexus 5 running KitKat, I see this same weird behavior I previously only saw on the tablet.

The thing they have in common is running android 4.4.2 KitKat, so it makes me wonder.

I just tested that POS app on my Samsung GS4 with KitKat 4.4.2 and I did not get the same results as you but I ended up getting another "minor" issue. When I exit the app, it temporarily replaces my wallpaper with a screen shot of the TiVo app. When I turn the screen off and come back, it reverts back to normal.

I have a Nexus 7 with the same OS at home and perhaps I'll give it a try when I get home tonight.

I doesn't surprise me if the app is causing some unpredictable behavior!

I am having the same issue on my Nexus 10. When I exit the Tivo app, it opens another app. Most of the time it's Uno.

Well, I got some logcat output from going through the sequence that makes it crazy, and on the Nexus 5 phone, I now see it pop up both chrome and the phone app when I exit the TiVo app :-). Immediately on exit from TiVo, I see the phone, then when I exit that, I see chrome, but I don't see any obvious to a rank amateur android programmer reason for the apps to pop up. I do, however, see some pretty good circumstantial evidence that the TiVo app is written by bad programmers. I get lots of these in the logcat:

W/ContextImpl(25449): Implicit intents with startService are not safe...

Looking that up on google leads me to believe that other apps can conflict with the intent and possibly respond when they shouldn't, so maybe that is what is going on.

I tested it on my Nexus 7 (2013 ver).. and using the TiVo phone app - I get the same results as you. When I exit the app, it brings up my Chrome browser.

I also decided to try it using the TiVo app for Tablets and it did NOT bring up Chrome.

Using these apps are just a lesson in futility. Using the TiVo phone app, it tells me that it's not optimized for my screen using the Nexus 7 or my GS4. I try using the Tivo app for Tablets on the Nexus 7 and it tells me that it was not designed for my device.

So annoying. If there was a way I could schedule TiVo recordings on the road without these apps, I would get rid of them immediately. Even doing that is such a poor experience. For example, why the hell do the apps scan for boxes on the network when I am not even connected to any wifi?! Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into a gripe session.
